MIBL Radio vs Radio.co
Radio.co is a mature broadcasting suite with bigger entry limits and native iOS and Android apps on its higher plans. MIBL is built to get a small station found: its own search-friendly page, help listing in radio directories, and lyrics your listeners can read in 19 languages — with a longer free start.
Side by side
| MIBL Radio | Radio.co | |
|---|---|---|
| Free start | 30-day free station, no card. During the trial: 10 listeners, 96 kbps, and the station sleeps when nobody is listening. | 14-day free trial on every plan; no free plan. |
| Entry paid plan | MIBL VIP Bronze: A$7.99 a month (Australian dollars). | Lite: US$35 a month. |
| Entry plan limits | MIBL VIP Bronze: 100 listeners, 1 GB, 128 kbps, on air 24/7. | Lite: 500 concurrent listeners, 2 GB, up to 192 kbps. |
| Station page | Your own station page is included. It enters our sitemap for Google and Bing once it has a 12-word introduction or 10 songs. | Website Builder is an add-on (+US$12 a month); embeddable players and widgets. |
| Radio directories | A readiness checklist, one-click listing in Radio Browser, and step-by-step guides for TuneIn, myTuner, radio.net and Streema. | Its FAQ says each directory has its own submission process; no automatic listing is mentioned. |
| Lyrics for listeners | Lyrics are timed to the music automatically, and one button translates them into the site’s 19 languages (your plan sets how many songs a month). | Not mentioned on its pricing page. |
| AI | An AI DJ on every plan: rotation, jingles and voice drops, around the clock. | AI voice generation credits on Standard and above. |
| Live | Go live from the browser or from an encoder such as Mixxx, on every plan; listeners can leave short voice messages you approve for air. | Broadcast Live on every plan; Live Playout Studio on higher plans. |

Where MIBL is different
- Your station gets a page built to be found by search engines, and help getting into the big radio directories.
- Listeners can read your lyrics in their own language: 19 languages, timed to the music. See it on a real song.
- The whole dashboard speaks 19 languages, including Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
- An AI DJ and live broadcasting on every plan, and a 30-day free start without a card.
- We are honest about AI: how our own music is made.
Moving your station
- Start a free station and upload your tracks; they are converted to your plan’s stream quality.
- Pick your station name and address, then go on air — the AI DJ keeps it playing.
- Keep your old stream running until the radio directories show your new address.
